English Translation
Abu al-Qasim Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Iyadi informed us in Baghdad, from Abu Bakr al-Shafi'i, from Ishaq ibn al-Hasan al-Harbi, from Abu Nu'aym, from Abu Umays, from Ibn Salama ibn al-Akwa', from his father who said: A spy from the polytheists came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was on a journey. He sat and conversed among his companions, then slipped away. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Pursue him and kill him. I reached him before the others, killed him, and took his spoils.
